W. Rockhill Delays Vote On Housing Proposal Briefly

The West Rockhill Township supervisors postponed voting last night on a final plan to build 53 single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses in an area near Sellersville.

The plan, submitted by Glen E. Garis Inc., of Souderton, is expected to be the subject of a vote at the next supervisors' meeting, Feb. 25.

Chairman Richard Derstine said the postponement was necessary because of unresolved issues regarding a railroad crossing and a traffic island on Clymer Avenue. In addition, the township engineer has to make a final review of the plans and approve them, Derstine said.

Besides the township, the 24.5-acre subdivision would include 15 homes in Sellersville. The development is planned for along Clymer Avenue in an area bounded by Mill Creek and the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek.
